S’pore, Romania reaffirm ties, discuss collaboration in areas such as cybersecurity and people-to-people exchanges
SINGAPORE - Romanian companies can use Singapore as a gateway to the South-east Asia market, which would help promote the countries’ economic relationship for the benefit of their people, President Halimah Yacob said on Friday.
Madam Halimah noted that more than 150 Romanian officials had participated in the Singapore Cooperation Programme courses over the years in areas such as civil aviation, public administration, and environment and urban development. She also expressed appreciation for Romania’s support for Singapore’s agreements with the EU, namely the EU-Singapore Free Trade Agreement, as well as its early ratification of the EU-Singapore Investment Protection Agreement.
President Iohannis likewise expressed a desire to enhance bilateral cooperation, such as in information technology and communications, cyber security, smart cities, start-ups, agriculture and food security, climate change, education and people-to-people contacts. “We both agreed on the importance of strengthening our bilateral ties and exploring new areas of mutual interest in cyber security and digitalisation. These are areas where there is potential for our countries to deepen cooperation,” she wrote.
